16:13 GMT - Cole Palmer will miss Chelsea's Champions League clash with Atalanta on Tuesday as boss Enzo Maresca tries to keep the injury-plagued forward fresh.

Maresca confirmed on Monday that Palmer had been left out of Chelsea's squad in Bergamo as part of his recovery from a two-month spell on the sidelines.

"Cole is in part of his process in this moment. He's not available, he can't play two games in a row in three days," Maresca said.

"So we planned that, and it's just a way to protect him."

16:03 GMT - Arne Slot insisted that his relationship with Mohamed Salah has not broken down even after dropping the star attacker from Liverpool's trip to face Inter Milan in the Champions League.

"That's not the way I feel, but he has the right to feel how he feels. I haven't felt that at all," said Liverpool coach Slot during his press conference on Monday.

The Egyptian winger was not taken to Italy despite training earlier in the day with the first team, after saying he felt like he had been "thrown under the bus" by the club and no longer had a relationship with Slot.
